River in the Rearview

[Intro]

[soft guitar

Low strings swell]

Hmm-mmm

Hmm-mmm (yeah)

[Verse 1]

You said

“Turn here”

But I stayed straight

Old map folded

On the dash

Dead weight

Sun on the sign

Fading blue on green

Every mile between us

Says what we can't speak

[Chorus]

River in the rearview

We keep driving anyway

Both hands on the future

Heart stuck in yesterday

If letting go is loving you

Then that’s what I’ll do

Watching everything we knew

Turn small in the rearview

[Verse 2]

Your jacket’s riding

Shotgun

Stealing space

Coffee getting colder

Like the jokes we used to make

You trace your finger

Through the window steam

Say

“It’s better this way”

But your eyes disagree

[Chorus]

River in the rearview

We keep driving anyway

Both hands on the future

Heart stuck in yesterday

If letting go is loving you

Then that’s what I’ll do

Watching everything we knew

Turn small in the rearview (rearview)

[Bridge]

What if we stop?

What if we stay?

What if this exit sign

Knows our names?

I hit the gas

You start to cry

I hit the gas

You start to cry

Two quiet rebels

Calling it goodbye (goodbye)

[Chorus]

River in the rearview

We keep driving anyway

Both hands on the future

Heart stuck in yesterday

If letting go is loving you

Then that’s what I’ll do

Watching everything we knew

Turn small in the rearview

Just me and you

And the river in the rearview

[Outro]

Hmm-mmm

Hmm-mmm (oh, the rearview)
